[SEL] O.T. Ford 2000 Expedition want Start

[Curt]

Paul,
I agree with the bad battery diagnosis. It's 4 years old, it's about 
that time. You can either have this checked at an auto parts house or 
check it yourself. Pop the caps so you can see down in the cells. Put 
your charger on and then turn it on high charge. If you see bubbles much 
heavier in one cell than the others you have a bad cell.
Now Paul, wouldn't this sort of question be better suited on many of the 
well established automobile or Ford forums? This IS a gas engine list, 
but that is ANTIQUE gas engines. At least the OT subject isn't computers 
for a change.....
Flame over.
